Aluminium Vase

I split the mould and was very disappointed that it had not set properly – I opened it to soon. A hard outer shell had formed but only 2 or 3 cm thick. I remade the mould half that failed, this time adding a deeper section to thicken the walls right over the vase shape. I will probably add more to the mould at a later date so’s as to get it as thick and good as possible. I will not have it ready to cast by the 6th of May. So will need to produce another out come for field.
